476 RHOPALOCERA. 
The type of Desmozona ascolides, Boisd., which, through Mons. C. Oberthiir’s kindness, 
we have examined, agrees with our Central American series, and this name can be used 
for it should its separation from JV. ascolia hereafter be deemed advisable. 
14. Nymphidium ipsea, sp. nov. (Tab. XLV. figg. 17, 18.) 
Alis fuscis plaga lata communi costam anticarum haud attingente flavida, inter et infra cellulam annulis 
evanescentibus aliisque ad marginem externum coloris ejusdem; subtus ut supra sed omnino dilutioribus 
annulisque omnibus magis distinctis. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
At present we know of but a single female example of this species, taken by Mr. Belt 
in Nicaragua. It has a general resemblance to that sex of NV. molpe, but the inner area 
of the wing is yellowish and not white, and there is no rufous in the outer border of the 
secondaries. 
15. Nymphidium ictericum. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 3.) 
Nymphidium ictericum, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. 8. 1878, p. 867°. 
Alis ad basin ochraceo-brunneis; anticis fascia lata obliqua, ad medium constricta, a costa marginem 
externum versus eunte, macula irregulari in margine interno aliisque quibusdam prope marginem 
externum, posticisque omnino, ochraceo-flavis; anticis lineis indistinctis obscuris cellulam transeuntibus ; 
subtus ut supra sed alis pallidioribus. 
G mari similis sed omnino pallidior. 
Hab. Panama, Veraguas (Arcé!), Chiriqui (Ribbe 1). 
A peculiar species of which, as yet, we have only seen two specimens; one, a male, 
taken by Arcé, which is in our collection, the other, a female, which is in that of 
Dr. Staudinger. 
16. Nymphidium nycteus, sp. nov. (Tab. XLVIL. fig. 18.) 
Alis albis, anticis fascia mediana longitudinali rufo-brunnea, maculis tribus transversis in cellulam duabusque 
infra eam nigris, margine externo nigricante maculas sex submarginales albas includente, ea ad angulum 
analem maxima, posticis ad basin et macula duplici ad angulum apicalem nigris; subtus fere omnino 
albis, anticis ad apicem et macula ad medium marginis externi fuscescentibus albido variegatis, posticis 
macula duplici ad angulum analem nigra. 
6 adhuc ignotus. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
We can suggest no near ally to this species, one of the largest and most striking of 
the genus. 
It is only known to us through a single female specimen forwarded by Mr. Champion 
from Bugaba in the State of Panama.
